Saving money doesn't mean using coupons only. I try and buy as much of the things my family needs on clearance. It is time for winter clearance sales to start so they can make way for spring and summer clothes. I visited the Kmart clearance racks today and here is what I found:

I really needed some retail therapy since I haven't been out and about much lately in this cold weather and Kmart had 50 - 60% off apparel so this is the time to score some nice deals on holiday dresses (I found some as low as $7.99 - regular $19.99) and other winter apparel. I got a three piece pajama set for my son and these really cute 3 piece outfits for my girls that were regular priced $16.99 for $6.79 each which is a great price considering you get the pants, shirt, plus the tank top underneath (which isn't attached to the shirt so you can use them under other outfits) That is a big plus because it seems like every shirt my girls own is short in the front and requires a tank top or camisole under it... I guess wearing two shirts is the style now. Yay! More laundry for me!

I also got my 3 year old son some really thick joe boxer footed pajamas for $2.99 per pair (reg.$7.99). These will come in handy if that ridiculous "polar vortex" cold spell comes back around, as will the raccoon and fox hat & glove sets I got my daughters for $3.99 each (regular $9.99). These go all the way over their heads to the shoulders so it covers up the neck too but leaves room for their eyes and nose to peek out which eliminates the need for a separate scarf...and that is GREAT!

I also found some clearanced perfume sets ($3.99 each) and a couple bags of Christmas bows for $.39 each and a backpack for my son for $3... He is on his 4th backpack of the school year!! Why are boys SO hard on things? I must say I don't normally buy Kmart clearance clothes until they go a lot cheaper but these outfits were SO cute and came with 3 pieces so I knew they wouldn't last until the final stages of markdowns when we get stuff for $1.99 or $.99 each so I grabbed them now! I also received a $.30 off gas coupon (up to 15 gallons) for spending $50... Can't beat gas savings for doing my regular shopping!

If you're in CVS this week, keep your eyes peeled for this sweet deal on Axe Deep Space Shower Gel. At my store this evening, this was on 50% off clearance, so I picked up three and sure enough, they generated a $4.00 ExtraBuck Reward! Remember, clearance deals can vary by region, so double check the price. Here's the deal that I did:
